5 out of 5 stars Pop Rock Classic!.......2002-03-02

This is one of the top five releases of the last decade. If you like early Cheap Trick, especially Heaven Tonight, you will love this. All twelve tracks rock! Super Tuesday, Calling Sydney, RU Receiving, etc, etc. I do not exaggerate. This is one of those special records. Even the great Shazam will have a hard time beating this one. This is modern power pop at its absolute finest.

4 out of 5 stars Billy Batson would be proud!.......2001-11-29

The best post-modern powerpop album I've found. Echoes of Cheap Trick, ELO, DB's and others, but the Shazam don't merely ape these forebears - they pay homage to them with well-crafted songs. The lyrics may be a bit sloppy in places, but even this looseness is endearing. I can't stop playing it.

5 out of 5 stars The Greatest CD ever made.......2001-08-21

In my country Shazam is worshipped as hero of culture. The rock sounds have the learnation and learnededness of the Zander, Roy Woods, BeatleGrup and other brilliant men. Indeed, God Speed The Shazam!

5 out of 5 stars Powerful pop.......2000-11-16

This cd is a step up from their self-titled debut(and that was pretty good). Much more guitars on this one and thats a good thing. Reminds me of the Who in parts, maybe some Cheap Trick too. While loud and proud this disc never loses touch with the melodies, and choruses. It lags a bit in the end, but the first eight songs are to die for. A must buy.

5 out of 5 stars RU Receiving The Shazam? You should be..........2000-10-05

Quite simply, an outstanding second CD (IMHO) from this band out of Tennessee. They've deservedly had strong reviews in the UK music press for this release. Much has been made of influences such as legendary bands such as The Move and Cheap Trick, but the songs on this stand up by themselves, although you can hear elements of those influences in some. Excellent "power pop" and I challenge anyone to give this a try... and then *not* keep playing it over and over! It really grows on you! Hans Rotenberry proves that he is a skilled songwriter, and he is ably supported by fine musicians. I honestly recommend this CD. Terrific band, wonderful album, BUY IT!

4 out of 5 stars Godspeed Indeed.......2006-02-10

Great rocking power pop from Nashville, Tenn, almost every song on this highly acclaimed CD sounds similar to Cheap Trick, i.e. Sunshine Tonight, Super Tuesday, RU Receiving. Listen and hear why Little Steven is such a big fan of these guys. It gets better with every spin. I also recommend Tomorrow The World released in 2003 which is very good.
